I could also count each individual pine needle! (Mrs. Sandora) Grace, I love the bright green pine needles.(Carlin) The shade of green is amazing because it changes when it comes to the bottom of the picture! (Aidan)

(Caroline B) I really Like how you can see shadows from other blades of grass (Adam) The one flower really changes the picture! (Aidan)

Posted by Caroline R. I posted this photo of the pre-school building because I think the sky is beautiful in the background. I also thought that the shadows and the dark tree made thethe picture seem balanced. I changed the way I was holding the camera which is why it looks like the whole picture is sliding.

Great job! The sky makes the picture look fantastic, also turning the camera sideways was a good idea. (Nicole) I like how you got the trees and grass to look like the are falling downward in your picture. (Caroline B) That's a really good picture, Caroline! I like how the bright color of the sky makes the tree pop out. (Cat) The angle of the camera makes the picture very intriguing Caroline. I do feel like the contents of your picture are going to slide right out! (Mrs. Sandora) Wow! Caroline the entire world is falling off your picture! I love the way I feel like I'm falling off too! (Abby) I think the blue car in the corner is a nice touch! (Aidan)

Posted By Harper I posted this picture because there is a cool glare coming of the symbol and the cloud and the blowing trees gives it more color and I like how you are kind of looking up at the front. I also like the back round! (Aya) The detailed four circles and the glare really shows the beauty of the picture you took. (Caroline B) I like how the blue sky is in the background. The front of the car looks detailed in all the lines. (Nicole) I like how the sun makes a little shine.(Jake) Harper, I like how the sky has a white stripe down the middle it looks like a jet just flew by great picture. (Kate) I really like the way the sun glares of the symbol and how the tree is coming from the side and I agree with Kate it does look like a plane flew across the sky. I like how the picture is half car and half nature! (Aidan)

Posted by Koji I choose this picture because I like the way the colors blend together.

I like how you focused on one thing and made the back round blurry. (Caroline B) Cool picture of the milkweed. (Sonya H.) It looks like the plant has been air brushed softly with color. You've also used the rule of thirds effectively Koji. (Mrs. Sandora) I love the vivid colors in this picture, amazing job Koji! (Deepa) It's amazing how you can see every detail! (Aidan)

I chose this picture because it demonstrates super macro really well. It looks like the pine needles are going to jump out at you. Abby, like how the backround makes the pine needles easy to see.(Carlin) I like how you have the branches in detail. I also like how you have one bright green needle in your picture. (Caroline B) I feel like I am seeing this with a magnifying lens. This picture is very timely as we head into the winter months.

I too like the layers in this photo Jillian. The berries just pop out and make me want to pick them! (Mrs. Sandora) I like how you got detail on the first couple leaves then worked our way back. (Caroline B) Jillian, I really like your picture because it has many different colors of nature in it. (Josie) I love the bright green color and the mustardy yellow it looks like the leaves are moving forward at you. (Abby)

Posted by Naman I used leading lines. I think it looks like the tree is taller than it should be. The sun looks like it is making the leaves turn brown.

I like how you got a picture of the bark in detail also that you have the leaves spread across the sky. (Caroline B) I just love the leading lines in this picture, how it seems like the tree just goes on forever [Will] This tree is so very tall Naman! I feel like I would be miniature standing next to it. The sun peeking through also adds additional interest. (Mrs. Sandora) Naman, I like how you can see the back without it getting blured. (Kate) Nice leading line Naman. It looks like the tree is as big as a football field!(Jas)

Posted By Jake I like this picture because I used macro to make this picture detailed. I also picked this picture because you can barely see the sun light. I like how the front is blurry but the back round is clear. (Cat) Jake, the layers in your picture are very interesting. It is neat how the branches and needles in the background are in focus and the foreground is a bit blurry. (Mrs. Sandora) I like how the detail of the tree branches are hidden behind the blurry leaves. (Caroline B)

Jake, I like how even through the pine neddles you can see the sky. (Kate) I like how you weave through the pine needles. (Adrian)

I like this picture because of leading lines and the lack of color. (Djibril B)

Djibril, you are correct! This picture could be on the Digital Photography presentation slide we saw in class to demonstrate lack of color. I also like the variety of all the little items in the picture. (Mrs. Sandora) I like how you used lack of color in your picture. (Caroline B)

Awesome picture it looks like he's about to fall over; I like how the grass sort makes his bright shirt pop out. (Caroline R.) The picture does make it look like he's going to fall over! I like how you got the shot where he's about to score. (Cat) I like how his tongue is sticking out and how he looks like he is going to fall.(Naman) I like this picture because Max is cutting to the inside to ovoid Naman or another classmate of his.

Eliseo, you can almost see Max's hair in motion. Very cool. (Mrs. Sandora)

Posted By: Adrian I choose this picture because the sun reflects on the horse and I think the horse is in space.

Amazing picture! I love the way the sun reflects on the horse! (Madigan) That is a really good picture! Is the horse on top of water? If it is, I love the way you can see the reflections. (Cat) Adrian, I love the reflectin of the horse on the hood of the car. (Kate) Cat, I too love this picture. I especially like the dark background because it makes the horse stick out in the foreground. (Ivor) Nice picture Age I like how when the sun's reflection hits the hood and horse it makes the glare blue. (Harper) I like how you have the glare there to make the horse pop out.

Great action shot (Catherine) Great shot! I love how it looks like the girl is going to fly off the bar![Will]

Posted by: Caroline B I chose this particular picture because of the jump rope right over her head. I also chose it because it shows a great deal of action in the shot, such as her hair and necklace up in the air.

I like how you waited until the right moment to take the picture. It looks as if she froze while jumping rope. (Nicole) Caroline, in addition to action that's going on, the leading lines of the sidewalk and the children in the background make it a very interesting picture. (Mrs. Sandora) Caroline, I love this picture you chose because the jump rope is at the perfect hight above her head, and you can see a faint shadow to the side of her. It's very interesting.(Josie) Caroline, that picture is amazing! The jump rope looks like an arch. (Cat) Nice job on taking the picture at the perfect moment. (Naman) I like how she's about to jump and it looks like her tung is sticking out. (Adrian)

Caroline, I like how you got this action shot when the rope was in mid air! Great.(Jas)

The leaves are all different colors so it makes it look unique. (Nicole) Awesome picture Marie! I love the use of color and it's macro view! Great job!! (Madigan) Marie, the changing of leaf colors in the fall is so fleeting, and you seemed to have captured the moment! The water droplets on the leaves also add to the beauty.

Posted by Josie I like this picture because I wasn't really looking when I took the picture. I just held the camera up and took the picture and it turned out great. I also like it because it's looking up towards the sky so it has a very nice backround to it.

That's the great thing about a digital camera Josie, sometimes you just chance upon a great picture! I really like the use of sun in your photo. It's also interesting how you have two objects in the corners that seem to frame the picture. (Mrs. Sandora) I like how you let the tree and building peek out from the corners of your picture. I like how you clouds are all spread out too. (Nicole) This picture is so good because it makes the clouds look fake. (Cat) I like how you caught the detail of the clouds and the reflection of the sun. (Caroline B) I like how the clouds are in the front, the sun is in the middle, and the blue sky is in the back. ( Adrian)
